A Visit to the Bachman's 2012 Fall Ideas House...

Last week, I toured the 2012 Bachman's Fall Idea House! For those of you not familiar with it...Bachman's is a well known landscaping, home and garden business in Minnesota. Their Idea Houses have been held in an old family home on the flagship property, and are filled with decorating ideas for the season. I have a link under my header which leads to posts from all of the previous Idea Houses, if you are interested in seeing more!I'll be sharing some ideas from the Fall 2012 house in the next few posts! The theme for this house is "Cool Trends for Fall Gatherings"! Remember, you can click on any photo to enlarge it!The porch was ready for entertaining with fun ideas...some of them beer inspired!

This arrangement hung on the door...

The living room had a lot of industrial inspired ideas...this shelving was made from reclaimed metal and wood...

The lamps and lighting ideas in the house were some of my favorites this time!

Wicker balls and stems decorated a drum shade in the dining room...

The kitchen had some fun re-use ideas...

The colors and fabrics are whimsical!

There was lots of fun inspiration! Next post, I'll take you upstairs!Until next time...

LindaI always look forward to your Bachman tour! I especially loved the kitchen shelf with the bright wallpaper and sweet owl. There are always so many repurposing ideas too.Thanks for sharing-I'll be back to see the upstairs!

Well, I missed that one too! I like the apothecary jars, gives me an idea of what to do with all of those acorns each fall! I didn't know there was a sale either, I saw things from your last post that I would loved to have....like the paddles! Thanks for sharing pictures.

Thank you for taking your time to photograph and post this lovely Idea House each season. I look forward to seeing what they come up with each season. Such great ideas. Now if I just had an industrial inspired home!
